All you experts including Jordan Breen assume every foreign fighter gets treated like Pacquiao in their home country. Most pro sports in general are just not popular in S.Korea. They could care less about MMA and Dong. All the media is on Ji-sung and European football leagues. MMA is still virtually unknown to a lot of Koreans/Asians(there're some hardcore fans online but that's about it) and There's only one cable network called XTM(lesser, smaller version of SpikeTV) that broadcasts UFC PPV live in S.Korea. And there're other cable channels where you can see reality shows with half-naked booth girls/models. Not many watch UFC. Why is everyone assuming he's like a big star in his country? Yes, the UFC is giving Dong 'Roger Huerta' treatment but I don't know if UFC will get much out of him. Dong’s not a (super) star in S.Korea..

(It was obvious it was already written, but yeah I thought they'd put in a note). Funny, maybe, if you agree that Herb Dean can make some pretty poor decisions . . . but I don't troll, sorry if it came off like that. I like this site and appreciate the contributors that's why I come here four times a day. Notice I don't trash Huck on a daily basis. Anyway Palhares is my new dark horse. I'm rooting for Hendo, but the gambling man in me took Rousimar. I wasn’t being combative! (It was obvious it was already written, but yeah I thought they’d put in a note).

When he did it before the Bisping fight that should have been a signal to Bisping that he was in trouble, which he was. It's hard not to like the guy, he always seems extremely sincere about wanting to be a great fighter without resorting to the usual trash talk. Either way, I think Rich's experience and overall skills will be a little too much for Hammill Sat. night. I hope Matt Hammill comes out to ‘Born in the USA’ as well.
